t Application May 4, 1945, Serial No.A 591,987 3 claims. (o1. 224-2) This invention relates to new and useful imy sheet and having the other side portion flat against and attached to said back sheet.

The invention proposes to attach said flexible front sheet upon said back seat with eyelets or other fastening elements.

Still further it is proposed that the flexible front sheet be constructed or leather, imitation leather, or other flexible materials.

The invention also contemplates a modied form in which a sheet of any material is mounted in a certain Way within the flexible front sheet for adapting thev toy holster to support toy pistols of different sizes.

Still further the invention proposes the construction of a toy holster as brieily explained which is attractive and Which may be manufactured and sold at a low cost.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference Will be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, andl to the appended claims in which the Various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this disclosure:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view yci a toy holster constructed in accordance with this invention.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged horizontal sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig, 3 is an elevatio-nal View similar to Fig. l but illustrating one side of the flexible front sheet in a free condition.

Fig. 4 is a front elevational View of a toy holster constructed in accordance with a modified form of this invention.

Fig. 5 is an enlarged horizontal sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 4.

The toy holster in accordance with this invention includes a stiff, shaped back sheet l which is associated with a flexible front sheet i I extending across the central area of the back sheet I0 and having its side portion I2 curved and bent under and attached with eyelets I4 to the back sheet and having its other side portion I flat against and attached to the other side of the back sheet I0 with eyelets I6.

The back sheet II] may be constructed from cardboard, or any other suitable material. The flexible front sheet lI may comprise a piecerof leather, orH other iieXible sheet material. The shape and contour of the back sheet I!) and flexible sheet II is such as. to accommodate a pistol.

Fig. 3 suggests a Way for manufacturing the toy holster. It is proposed that rst the side I2 of the front sheet H be attached to the side of the back sheet I0 with the eyelets I4, as illustrated in Fig. 3. Then the front sheet I I is bent over to the position illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 and the eyelets I6 are engaged in place to hold the side portion I 5 connected .with the other side portion of the back sheet I0.

It is to be understood in this construction that rivet-s may be used instead of eyelets. Y

In Figs. 4 and 5 a modified form of the invention has been disclosed which is very similar to the prior form distinguishing merely in the fact that a cloth sheet IB is disposed Within the flexible front sheet II and is attached along one side I9 to the bac-k face of the front sheet II near the curved portion With a line of stitches 20. The cloth sheet I8 continues around the curved portion of the front sheet II and has its other side 2l releasably attached to the front face of the back sheet I0. The side ZI is releasably attached by rst being engaged around a stiff strip of material 22 and sewed into this position by a line of stitches 23, The ends of the strip 22 project above the cloth sheet IB. These projecting ends are provided With snap fastener elements 24 engageable selectively with groups of complementary snap fasteners, as elements 25 mounted upon the front face of the stiff back sheet I0.

When desired the ends'of the stii strip 22 may be disconnected from the snap elements 25 and shifted right, or left and` reengaged With other ones of the snap elements 25 for the purpose of holding the cloth sheet I8 in different lateral positions. With this arrangement it is possible to adapt the toy holster to support pistols of different sizes. It may support a large or small pistol, as desired.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming Within the scope of the invention as dened in the appended claims.

.Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:

1. A toy holster, comprising a stiff shaped back sheet, and a ilexible front Sheet extending across the central area of said back sheet and having one side portion curved and bent under and attached to said back sheet and having the other side portion at against and attached to said back sheet, and a cloth sheet between said flexible front sheet and said back sheet and attached along one side to the back face of said front sheet near said curved portion and having its other side releasably attached on the front face of said back sheet, and means of attaching said releasable side in several positions upon said back sheet.
